Next week I have 3 days left to fix the bugs I added by rewriting code to get the automatic layouting to work.

E.g. splitpanels mess up project.glade, so that glade refuses to load it.

The screenshot shows a small testprogram running in Visual Studio (C#, Winforms, Windows XP) and right after conversion in Vala-IDE (Vala/Gtk2, Newyearspup).
I did not edit the converted project in Glade - it started out of the box like this after compilation in the Vala-IDE.

This is almost the "final" state, as I have just 1 day left to finish the project.

I added support for menus, even nested submenus work.
The menu and the statusbar will be not placed in the "fixed" widget, but in a vbox, so they expand with the window.

All other elements now are sized.
In most cases this gives better results than before.
Just flowlayouts look strange then, and must be adjusted by hand in Glade (see the bottom left corner, where the button is expanded).

Tomorrow I plan:
- add a scrolled-window to surround textboxes,
- remove unneeded properties (they throw warnings when the program runs - not critical, but it would look more professional to avoid them).
- if a menubar is available, move all elements on the "fixed" sligtly up.
I cannot gurantee, that I'll have success with every point.

I plan to announce the program in a Mono Mailinglist or so, so that it can be continued by other people.
Even if they are not interested in Vla - the Winforms to Glade feature is great for C#, too (Monodelop, Glade#).

Myself I will concentrate on Genie programming, and do not plan to extend it further on my own.
You still could add "thousands" of enhancements (more widgets, convert more than one form, ...), and it would take several weeks or even months, to implement all of this.

Nice work on the Monodevelop in Puppy. It works out of the box for me.
I have it running as a VMware guest on my WinXP host.

While running, I noticed that the mouse cursor can "break out" of the VMware window to my XP desktop. This is a behavior I normally see when a VMware guest has the VMware Tools installed. Otherwise, I must use CTRL-Alt to make the VMware guest let go of the mouse.

How does this happen? Is it a function of the Newyearspup base distro for Puppy Monodevelop, or is it something else?

no, it does not have the vmware tools installed.
I have no idea, what causes that behaviour.
Maybe it has to do with the newer Xorg it uses (7.4, compared to 7.3 in Puppy 4.x).

i tried to install the iso that you have uploaded
X fails to start when i try to run it with Xorg server and when i try to choose Xvesa i seems to work during 1 or 2 sec and my screen becomes blank right after...what's happening?

Some questions you might know about
You can embed the mono or jit or some such in
a C# program - I hear they can be quite small
but not Puppy small . . . ?

I know you asked this many years ago, but for the record:
If you are talking about mkbundle, last time I checked it seemed to be fundamentally broken as per https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3955.
IIRC I eventually found that I could include the gdiplus using a very old version of mono, but I never figured out the --config thing that is apparently needed for libc!_________________If you have or know of a good gtkdialog application, please post a link here
